The main module that you need to know about is CGI (it seems like the defacto module everyone uses - and for good reason), and I personally also use CGI::Untaint (for reading in form data). Take a look at the package on CPAN - go to http://search.cpan.org/ and search for CGI - read the documentation. (Sorry, this may seem like the long way around, but reading it for the purpose of something you're working on may help.) I've also read the ORA book on this subject, but I don't know if I'd recommend it that highly - you may wish to check it out for yourself before purchasing it. It also sound like some of what your doing may require client-side processing rather than server-side processing i.e. using JavaScript. (I could be wrong on this though.) It's what you want if you want to modify the appearance of a web page whilst a user is viewing it. Anyway, check out CGI and CGI::Untaint - now I'm wondering what others on this list would recommend regarding CGI::Untaint(?). :) All the best! Regards, Michael S. E.
